I want to sincerely apologize for the lack in updates as of late. I'd like to say I have an excuse, but I don't, so I won't try to make up one. I guess all I can say is: life happens. And life has been happening to me for the past couple weeks now, and I haven't been able to concentrate on anything, not even school work, which I am paying dearly for. Thankfully, however, my little withdrawal has passed, and I'm starting to feel like my normal self again. This means I can start writing again, which in turn means that the next chapter of Recoiling will be out ASAP. But for now, I hope you enjoy this poem I've written from Adina's point of view. It's the first thing I've written in over a month, so don't be surprised if it's melodramatic^-~









Collide by LadyBuG









These invisible tears I'm always crying

are worth nothing

This miserable life I've lead

has to count for something



I am only human



I am only weak



Broken

Because I have been in pieces

Bitter

Because I have felt pain

And through it all

I've managed to stay semi-sane



I will see your face long after

the dream is over

I will hear your voice

that soothes my raging soul

like no other



Your faithless eyes tell your story

I see the destruction and chaos

I see the power and glory

It makes me wonder just how far you would go

To obtain the knowledge that you claim

You already know



You make it hard for me

to keep my head on straight

And by the time I realize

what you're scheme is

It's too late

I am lost within your trap

I am lost within this maze

that has no direction

and has no map



I didn't ask for your attention

and I never wanted any of your affection

It's the little things that make a difference

It's only the little things

that seem to make any sense

I may not understand why I'm here

I may not know why I'm standing by your side

But I know the answers will slowly come

as our two worlds continue to collide
